Chapter 9

Khushi was still sleeping in bed Arnav decided to stay at home today after her fall he didn't want to leave the baby or her alone. He asked Carlata to make breakfast and lunch and keep it ready for them. Arnav was sitting on his lap top by the pool when Khushi woke up from her bed. She searched for him and came down and saw him typing. She smiled as she rubbed her eyes and walked towards him

Khushi: How come your home (she smiled)

Arnav: (looked up at her and then said) i didn't want to leave you and the baby alone

Khushi: (smiled and then said) Its ok Arnavji i can manage you go (she suggested)

Arnav: (raised his eye brows) No way. I am not leaving until i know your ok (he paused and then said softly) and besides i thought i should spend time with the baby. I was doing research online and it said that the father should try to communicate withe baby as much as he can so the baby knows about him.

Khushi smiled she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Did Arnav actually want to spend time with her and the baby. She was on 7nt heaven to be honest. Her heart sprung into joy and she couldn't help but smile. This love for the baby from Arnav just gave her goose bumps and butterflies in her tummy.

Khushi: Arnavji i will make breakfast  for us ok (she smiled)

Arnav: (looked up and said) What the !! no freaking way. (he got up and made her sit on the couch and then said) You sit right here. I have asked Carlata to make it.

Khushi chuckled at his behavior she sat next to him and enjoyed the serene beauty as the sea waves pulled on the sand the palm trees that swayed in the wind. Khushi was in hevean. Arnav sat besides her and admired her. She had the most cutest smile on her face she looked happy and glowing and that made him happy his heart swelled bigger. Arnav Sign Raizada felt so light to see the love of his life in such a happy state.

They were interrupted when Carlata got the brake fast trays. She placed the bowl of cornflakes down with some cold milk. Khushi looked at her and said in a grumpy voice.

Khushi: Cornflakes again

Carlata: Khushi its in your diet thats why. The doctor said that you have to eat it good for digestion and the baby.

Khushi: But i dont want this i want some thing yummy like Aloo ka paratha (she shut her eyes and imagined) Hmmm Yummy

Caralata looked at Arnav and he blinked and asked her to leave by the time she opened her eyes she saw Carlata gone and the breakfast tray sitting on the table she looked away grumpily and turned the other way. Arnav chuckled at her cuteness and then turned her around. He filled the milk in the bowl of flakes and then picked up the spoon and put it close to mouth. Her eyes looked up at him and he gave her a calm look. She opened her mouth and he fed her the first bite and then he said

Arnav: If you eat this i promise that for lunch you can have paratha

Khushi: (she looked at him cutely and then said) Fine but only if you feed me the rest

Arnav smirked at her and picked the bowl up and then fed her the cornflakes. She ate it quietly she just really liked being fed by him. Even though it didn't taste good she ate it because he fed it to her.

After breakfast they sat there and enjoyed the beauty for a while until it started to become really hot Arnav suggested that they move inside to the hall. She sat in front of the tv and watched some hindi movie while he was working on his lap top.

The day past by they were sitting around with each other Arnav got Khushi Aloo Paratha for breakfast and she munched on it like a little child would. In the afternoon they both went into the house to relax it was too hot outside Khushi watched some silly salman khan movie and Arnav rolled eyes all day long while she watched the movie with smiling expressions. Sometimes giggling sometimes laughing and sometimes crying until it was late afternoon and she fell fast asleep on the couch. He picked up her up taking her up to their room he placed her soft figure on the bed. Looking down at her tummy he bent down and kissed it and patted her tummy and talked to his baby

Arnav: Hi I am Arnav Sign Raizada

He shut his eyes in frustration as he introduced himself his mind told him that this is not some business meet that he should be formal. He is talking to his baby. He needs to talk to it like a father but how. Arnav rolled in frustration and then tried once more

Arnav: Hey I am Arnav and I am your dad

he tried to be a bit more informal but failed again. He shut his eyes again in irritation how is suppose to talk to a baby. He was in deep thought when all his concentration broke as he heard a small giggle. Khushi was awake when he picked her up but didn't open her eyes. She liked being in his arms. When he placed her on the bed she slowly let go her eyes still shut she was going to open them and stop him when she saw he was making attempts to talk to their baby. She held back and watched what he was up to. Controlling her laughter finally the second futile attempt of Arnav to talk to their kid and she couldn't control she let her giggle out.

He looked at her with big huge eyes all shocked not expecting her to be awake. She smiled at him he looked embarrassed. He was about to get up and go when she caught hold of his hand and pulled him back. She placed his hand on her tummy and smiled at him. He looked at her lost and bit confused and then she said to him softly

Khushi: Talk from you heart then may be it will be easy

Arnav: (paused a bit and then said) Its not i usually dont do these things

Khushi: I know, Arnavji just let go of all the worry you have and just imagine that its only us. You me and our baby and then say what you want.

Arnav tried once more he shut his eyes and slowly released the tension he had and when he opened them he looked at her tummy where his hand was placed. She placed her hand over his hand and looked at him lovingly. Then he said in a soft husky voice to his baby

Arnav: I am going to love you so much. (he smiled) Daddy can't wait for you to come (he bent down and then kissed her belly and said once more) I love you

Khushi smiled as her heart swelled bigger. SHe could feel it thumping against her chest as she looked at her babies father the love of her life. He smiled back at her sitting on the bed he leant and pecked her fore head and she shut her eyes feeling him close. He looked up and then said in a soft voice.

Arnav: Thank you

She smiled at him and he covered her with a blanket and tucked her in making her and the baby comfortable. Arnav left the room with a strange light hearted feeling called fatherhood.
